Wow! You guys are just the absloute greatest friends anyone could ask for! Things have really been rocky lately. My wife and I had a HUGE blow up last weekend and we were even talking separation! Thank the Lord for helping us to talk it through. One of my wife's biggest complaints though was the amount of time I spend on the internet, so looks like I'm gonna have to try to cut back on it. I'll still try to check in as oftenas I can, but until things calm down a little, I don't want to push the envelope. I know that the Lord can help us all through this, if we just keep holding on. Keep praying for us. I hold you guys up in my prayers every day.

Take care and God bless!

Hey man, we at CelticRadio don't want to come between you and your wife! We will continue to remember you in our prayers. Keep the dialogue open and you two will be fine. And we'll look forward to seeing you here when you can drop in.

I got caught up in spending too much time online a few years ago. It wasn't my husband that complained, it was my artwork that suffered... I spent more time online than at work, and didn't get a thing done! Had to stop that trend before I spent all day posting and emailing!

Have a good weekend, everyone!SB

"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost;The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost.From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring;Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king..."

Hey Allen! Good to hear from you. I second what everybody has already said here. It is very easy to get caught up on the internet. I have done it too and this last month I have been shown that I need to take care of other priorities such as my husband when he is at home and I feel God's call on me to be active in the church again in ministry. We will miss not hearing from you as often, but we understand. Keep us posted on everything when you can. In the meantime, you will continue be in our prayers. Beannachadh, a charaid.

I am really struggling with something very serious and am so beyond stressed about it. I feel like because of what I have done in this situation, God has turned his back on me. I am just hurting horribly right now and am stuck between a rock and a hard place. Please pray for me in this situation. That I will quit beating myself up about it, and that things will go 300 times better than planned. I feel like God was completely blessing me and because of this one stupid thing all of that is gone now.

Thanks guys.

Oh Susie! I am sorry to hear you are struggling so right now. God IS THERE more now than you feel. Don't forget that. You will be in my prayers.

I have a prayer request too. My sister-in-law has been very ill this week and in the hospital for a bowel obstruction that they have not cleared yet. This is a very serious situation and one we pray will be resolved and soon! Thanks y'all!

Your needs will definitely be in my prayers! Keep your chins up and remember (as I have been trying to do!) that God loves us no matter what, and there is no mistake, no matter how big, that He can't forgive!

I love you guys! hang in there! And continue to remember me in your prayers too please. Still struggling along...

Oh Susie, I am so sorry you are going through such a hard time. God doesn't turn his back on anyone, I believe we turn ours on him..Sometimes we just can't see the good that comes from our tough times.Hang in there and you will be in my prayers.

Susie and Allen, you both remain in my prayers daily. It is good that we have each other, isn't it?

I appreciate all your prayers for my SIL. Went to the hospital to see her tonight and she looks so bad and doesn't seem to be getting any better. We are all so upset and worried. But I told her that I had a lot of people praying for her right now and she was greatly comforted to know that. So are we as a family. Thanks so much, y'all. Hugs!
